The 12 Modern Lamps of Christmas 2012- Day 10

Happy Monday! Today is Day 10 of our 12 Modern Lamps of Christmas, which means we’re coming into the home stretch of giftable lamp options. For that special someone on your list who loves lighting and modern design, be sure to browse over what we’ve listed so far, starting with Day 1.

After you’ve looked over lamps 1-9, come on back to check out modern lamp #10:

There’s no better way to say Mele Kalikimaka than with the Luau Portable Lamp by OXO.

This large rechargeable lamp is a cool, ultra-modern take on the traditional lantern. And it brings the party pretty much wherever it goes. It glows from top to bottom for up to 10 hours on one charge, depending on how bright it’s kept. (The brightness is controlled by twisting the base.) And the best part is that, due to its long-lasting LED light source, it will keep bringing the party and glowing warmly for many, many years.

On or off, Luau makes a lovely conversation piece. It is more than a foot tall, with a soft, elongated form made out of white Cloud-colored polycarbonate. In addition to always looking good, this smooth material is durable and stays cool to the touch when illuminated.

Luau comes with its own recharging base, and automatically turns on when it’s lifted off (or when the power goes out). It is easily and safely transported and can be safely hung overhead with its convenient metal carrying handle. Whether in a gazebo or on a picnic table, for a big party or intimate dinner for two, the Luau is always on hand to set the mood.
